OSSIS 240ML SYP

Chondroitin and Glucosamine work synergistically to support joint health. Glucosamine primarily functions by providing the essential substrate needed for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are crucial components of cartilage. By increasing the availability of glucosamine, it stimulates the production of GAGs, proteoglycans, and hyaluronan, thereby promoting cartilage repair and maintaining its structural integrity. Chondroitin, on the other hand, inhibits the enzymes responsible for cartilage degradation, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and aggrecanases. This inhibition helps reduce cartilage breakdown and inflammation, contributing to overall joint health and mobility. Together, these mechanisms aid in reducing joint pain, improving joint function, and potentially slowing the progression of joint degeneration.
